Opposed. Motion carries. >> There wasn't a huge. >> Next we'll move into treasurer's report. >> You started without me. >> I didn't have a text from you. I

Anybody? We have a motion by Mitch, second by Brian.

004All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I. >> I. Opposed. Motion carries. Josh is back with us. 5-0 left. >> Okay. Next, we move to public comments. Are there any comments from visitors regarding agenda items? We have no visitors this evening, only staff. So I will assume there is none. Next we move into the administrator's report. >> Yes. Um we will need to reschedu our annual board administrative staff planning retreat. Um on behalf of the the district and the family um we appreciate the ability to postpone the retreat that was scheduled for the same day as the services of one of our students who had passed away. So I have included within board docs some suggested dates and we can talk about that. These are dates that I looked at that did

005not conflict with the calendar as far as we have homecoming coming up and a few other bigger things. Um we could consider doing an after or an evening session I should say. But what I put out there is I did include Thursday, September 4th and Friday, September 5th, which are just right around the corner and it is the first week of school, but at least we would have a couple of days in. Um I'm thinking of administrative um administrator responsibilities and and getting the year off and running. It's not like the first or second day, so we would probably be okay. Monday the 8th, um Tuesday the 9th, Wednesday the 10th, and Thursday the 11th, Friday the 12th, I am scheduled out of district, but should that be the only time available, I will just

006have to miss that meeting if necessary. Um if those work, any of those work, we would be able to get the retreat in before a regular meeting on September 17th. Um, other options I looked at would be Thursday the 18th and Monday the 22nd. As I noticed uh and mentioned, Friday the 19th is homecoming, so that is an absolute um not available day. We would still be looking at potentially a three and a half to four hour or 3 to 4 hour event. We could still schedule it for 8 till noon and if we're done sooner we could be done or we could look at an afternoon time if that would work better for you or if there would be an evening session. Um I would just need to have a little bit of time

007to round up staff members that would be potentially able to attend. >> Did we did it during the day on Thursday or Friday four or five? Um, would the staff be still able to attend? Would there still be >> We would have to get subs for that three or four hours, but I believe we would have some people willing to do so. Um, I think we should ask principles, is there any conflict that you're seeing? I know it's not great timing, but >> like the first week we're back to school that Thursday or Friday. purpose trying to be getting it in before that regular board meeting comes up so we can work on goals. >> So the fourth or fifth? >> Yes. >> I don't think we have conflicts. It's just the first week. >>

008It's the first week. Yeah. >> Mrs. M. Would it go into the evening? >> Do you anticipate? >> Well, we generally schedule it from like 8 to 11:30 or 8 till noon. Um if the board and rule shared rather do it afternoon, we could do that. Then we do more of a start time look like of noon till 4 unless we go with a full-blown evening meeting which with I'm thinking with principles Mr. Zeus being principal um football coach on top of that we might not have the people we really need at the table too. >> Well then you have parents with you know Thursdays and Fridays for sports kids too. >> Lots going on already. >> That the fourth is a home football game. >> Is it a home? Well, thank you. I did

009not evening, but >> I did not see that. Um, but if it was during the day, we would be okay. >> The only day that I could do it during the day because I I can't we're we're short staffed now and I can't really request any time off for this fast um would be Friday. I'm >> the fifth. >> Yeah, >> that's soon. >> I'm I'm at working from home that day. So, I have flexibility because that was what I was going to do the other time. I was just going to take a half a day and work a little longer. Okay. >> And that they would be fine with that. >> Does that work for any of the rest of the board? >> Yeah, that works for me. That works for me actually. >>

010Okay. >> After we go the next it's it's a mess after that the next two three weeks. >> Okay. So, it's better sooner than later. Okay. >> Josh, what about you? I know. >> I have to look. I will do everything I can >> to be there. Mhm. Um, Steve, Carrie, Mark, >> that's fine. >> Friday the 5th. >> Do we want to stick with that 8:00 time frame? Do you think that works? I mean, if Josh, if you can't be there, you know, you we'll make >> we'll keep you up to speed as much as possible, but we've done it before when there's been board members who couldn't attend. Um, however, >> no, >> sorry, >> not an option. >> You don't have to turn your video on. >> I'm not sitting at my

011desk that often. It seems >> Well, it sounds like we have the date of September 5th. Um because I'm putting this under the um the discussion here, we could when we go into the uh September dates then make that an approval in those motions for se September dates. >> Okay. And so like 8 to noon. >> Yes. >> Mhm. Okay. >> We do have it for action on this one as well. >> Do do I have it for action? It's just not popping up for me to say motion, which I must have missed that. So, >> and board president, I will let you >> make the call. >> Um, if someone was willing, can we get a motion to have the board administrative staff planning retreat uh rescheduled for Friday, September 5th from the hours

012of 8 to 12? I'll make a motion to reschedule the annual board administrative staff planning retreat to Friday, September 5th from 8 to 12 here at Three Lakes. >> Second. >> Was that Mitch or by >> Mitch? We have a motion by Stacy, second by Mitch. All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I. >> I. Opposed. None heard. Motion carries. >> And you'll let us know where what location we'll be in. in school. >> It will most likely be right here. >> Okay. Next, we move into new business starting with the September meeting date. >> A regular meeting will be scheduled for September 17th at 6:00 p.m. here in Three Lakes uh in the boardroom. >> This is also set up for action, but we do not need it if it is

013regular. >> That is correct. >> Okay. Next we will move into consider approval of personnel report. All right. Under the personnel report for this evening we have the hirings of Alan West is Sugar Camp Elementary part-time custodian. Courtney Howser is educational sign language interpreter. Anne Ellis activities and athletic director. Shannon Klein, sugar camp paraprofessional and knack driver and resignations. Phil update junior high principal, athletic activities athletic director. Karen Coleski, sugar camp professional, nack driver. Kimy, junior high volleyball coach, and Kim Turissi, assistant food service employee. >> Any questions or followup? If there are none, can I get a motion? >> Motion to approve the personal report as presented. >> Second. >> Have a motion by Brian, second by Josh. All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I. >> I. Opposed. And heard.

014Motion carries. Next, we move to consider approval of the 2025 2026 appendix D extracurricular payment schedule and co-curricular step lane. >> Um, we're going to have Caleb go through this with you uh and provide the updates. Mr. Zeus is not able to attend this evening. >> Sure. So, uh, everything is identical to last year with that extracurricular payment schedule except we bumped everything up 2% as approved by the board, um, in April, I believe it was. So, nothing new there. And then on the co-curricular compensation, uh, just a reminder that this is based off of our lowest teaching salary. And then you see there the different percentages there. So, if you're wondering where those numbers come from, um, you know, it's based off of $51,719. And this was uh put in last year by Phil

015and approved last year as well. Any questions or concerns? And if not, if someone is willing to make a motion. >> No, no concerns. Just a comment. This is favorable comparatively to other school districts. >> We were quite a bit behind um where we should have been and there was quite a bit of inequity between sports and this at least brought us into comparable of of the time spent. >> So, I I appreciate you you noting that. Um, it's hard to get coaches and then to keep the longevity factor. That was a big motivation and I appreciate the work that Phil did on that. >> Is there a motion here? >> Quick question. One last quick question just so on the on the extracurricular payment schedule that's that's per event. >> Yeah, that's per event.

016So those are all your workers at at the volleyball and football and basketball games. >> Thank you. Yep. >> I'll make a motion to approve the appendix E extracurricular payment schedule and co-curricular step lane schedule as presented. >> Second. >> We have a motion by Mitch, second by Josh. All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I. >> I. >> Opposed. Unheard. Motion carries. Next, we move to consider approval of milk bids for 2025 2026. Caleb, I'll let you take that, too. >> We got a we got a whopping one one bid, so I'm hoping you'll um so it would be with Prairie Farms again. Um and we've been with them since I've been here. Um we've always used Prairie Farms. Uh the the bid is uh within a couple cents of where

017we were last year on each of the items. And it talks about um an escalator based on the the raw cost of milk. And when you look at the bid, like if we take last year for example, the bid in July to where we ended up in June, uh one the skim milk went up one/tenth of a cent and then uh the 1% milk and the chocolate milk went down a couple ten of a percent or scent, not percent. So it's basically identical um throughout the whole year. So, if you're wondering if we'll have any wild fluctuations with prices, it's it's been pretty steady. >> The other company just didn't even I mean, usually it was the same two, but >> they just didn't even want >> I I didn't get a response. >> I

018don't believe they're even servicing our area anymore. As of last year, >> yeah, we've been losing them. That first year, we sent it to three and then down to two. I can change. Just one question. Maybe completely random. There's posters in the um information about lactoseree or is that something that we're actually like we're going to think about >> or is there a reason they just send the company just >> included it when I put the bid I didn't ask for lactoseree but it was just included in there. >> Okay. >> There's also nonreable salt. >> Yes. They're shelf stable also. I don't know how much of that goes around. >> Is the lactose free I mean an option that we should think about providing >> if not this year in the future or is

019it >> we could if we if we needed to if we had a student that needed lactose free we would definitely do that. I mean we're doing a lot of gluten-free stuff already and of course if someone has um something in an IEP we would obviously accommodate that as well. So absolutely open to doing that. It's as easy as just placing the order. >> I don't even know if it's necessarily needs to be an IEP thing or just simply an option because I do know of a couple of kids that probably wouldn't go that route. >> Sure. >> And the gluten-free thing is not an IEP thing either, but we accommodate. If there are not any other questions, is someone willing to make this motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve the Prairie Farms

020uh bid as presented. >> Second. >> Stacy wins. Okay, we have a motion by Josh, second by Stacy. All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I. >> I opposed. None heard. Motion carries. Next, we move to consider revisions of the 2025 2026 professional employee handbook. The handbook is very very minimally different than it was from last year. Um we are nearing the end of the handbook rewriting project that we're doing with um Scott Micish and WB. We will be doing it as both a uh professional staff handbook and as a support staff handbook. Um we were very much in need to update several policies that were no longer meeting the compliance that were necessary and in fact we were missing some uh policies. So he had hoped to have it done for

021this meeting but that did not work out. He should be finalizing everything within the next couple of weeks. this um September is possible. We could have it ready to go for the September regular meeting. I'm not going to make any promises. More importantly, I have communicated with staff that there is minimal changes. Um but we need to have this because they're back to work now and I need them as a condition of their employment to sign off on what is currently in place. When we get the revisions, we will share this with the staff so they can see the changes. we can get some feedback and as I explained to them in the message today actually that I sent out a lot of policy um work we cannot word smith it we cannot rewrite what

022is legally required to be in compliance but there will be nothing that would be a surprise or something that they would wonder about or question. So that is where the status is. So my request would be that you would make the motion to approve the con the current status of this handbook for the 2526 year and again knowing that we will probably be revisiting this in the next several months as an updated document. >> Thank you. Any other questions regarding the handbook as presented? Um, if there are none, is someone willing to make a motion? >> I will make a motion to approve the 2025 2026 professional handbook as presented. >> I'll second. We have a motion by Mitch, second by Brian. All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I. >> I.

023>> Opposed? None heard. Motion carries. Next, which I'm assuming is similar, we go into consider revisions of the 2025 2026 support staff handbook. >> Correct. And this is ditto from what I just said. Um wanted to have it as two separate agenda items, especially where we are going to have more of that definition of um the differences keeping the the teaching specific professional language out of the support staff handbook. Um, so we would like to approve this for the support staff at this time so we can get that out for their acknowledgement and signature and we will be bringing this back to you within the next several months. >> Anyone ready to make a motion on support staff? >> I'll make a motion to approve the 2025 2026 support staff handbook as presented. >> Second.

024>> We have a motion by Stacy, second by Josh. All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I >> I opposed none heard. Motion carries. Next we move into the seclusion and restraint report. >> Um you can see that uh Carrie Vulkus provided the documentation for us. Carrie, did you want to read it and >> answer any questions? Okay. Um, so as required by the Wisconsin statute 11805, all school districts are required to report the number of incidences of seclusion and restraint during the previous school year. So in accordance with that state statute, I'm reporting the following. There have been zero incidents of seclusion and restraint in the Third Lake school district during the 2024 2025 school year. The total number of pupils who were involved in incidents of seclusion and physical restraint

025for the 2024 2025 school year was zero. And the number of students with disabilities who were involved in incidents of seclusion and physical restraint for the 2024 2025 school year was zero. Carrie, just off the top of your head, I know it was zero last year as well. Do you even remember the last time that has been? >> Not since I have been here. >> Okay. >> Yeah, we try to do a lot of proactive and preventative things. Um and actually in our inservice schedule, we have a nonverbal intervention strategy um training which is part of NVCI, but it's just the verbal intervention piece. And unfortunately something unexpected happened with our trainers, one of our family members. So we had to reschedule it, but it was um scheduled for all staff, all support staff and

026teaching staff. So that will be rescheduled at one of our other inservice dates coming up. So I think a lot of those types of um professional develop and inservice that that helps with us trying to be proactive in our approaches. >> Absolutely. Thank you. >> Um, is someone willing to make a motion? >> I'll make a motion to accept the exclusionary restraint report as presented. >> Brand view that time, right? >> Mitch or was it Mitch? >> Was it you? >> Yeah, it was me. >> Oh, >> apparently sound. for being quiet tonight. Motion on by Josh, second by Mitch. All those in favor of the motion signify by stating I. >> I. I. >> Motion carries. Something's in the water tonight. Okay. Next, we move to state and federal annual notice posting report. >>

027Well, these are just um updates that we need to make to bring our policies up to speed. um tonight looking at 113 exhibit federal notices of non-discrimination. This is looking at we are now going back to the um title 9 regulations that were in place prior to the 2024 change and we actually talked about that last year that they would probably change which they have because by federal law they were overturned. So all this did was revert back our language to the original which is in place. I remember last year there was questions about whether the 1972 amendments and such still stood. Yes, they do. Um the reason you're seeing this is our attorney Scott did feel that we needed to make sure we got this one in sooner rather than later so we are

028in complete compliance with the way that this Title 9 law reads. The second most important part of that is it's very important that the title n coordinator is named who is Justin Zeus the high school principal rather than just saying the high school principal which was very common for um many districts in the past. And also it goes ahead and it signifies that Carrie Vulp um is the director of our student services and special education and she will be the contact for 504 and ADA title 2 um issues that would come up and so we've got two people but work in different avenues within this law. Any questions specifically to the updating of this exhibit? If there aren't, we'll move into the meal policy and school meal account ch uh charges and collections. Um Caleb

029is going to speak to this as well. We wanted to do some research that really much better outlined and reflected what our practices are here at the district. Um Michael Kayla, would you like to address these policies? >> The the the biggest change, and it's not really a change, it's just more of the highlighting of when a student can charge to their account. um if if they're in the negative, the board policy has always been that they cannot charge alle cart um or extra milks or anything that is outside of just the standard breakfast or the standard lunch and we just wanted to make that more clear. Um there had been some confusion on low if you're not less than 10 negative. We wanted to just make sure that we were following the board policy

030and really clarifying that. So that's that's really the the only I guess change that would have been. But I I do want to I guess remind um the board that the policy does state that that we will allow students to charge infinitely um into the negative if they are taking those lunches or breakfast only. So we don't have a hard stop. But it does also say we can investigate. >> Sure. >> into the reason. Where's our notification go out? What's the dollar value? It's pretty low, isn't it? >> It's It's one cent in the negative. >> Yeah. I mean, is there Can we have some sort of a notification policy that you know, hey, you've got $10 left in your account? Is there something that we can do? Do you is there a >> We

031can put it whatever down. >> We can put it whatever. It doesn't have to be negative. >> I think we should. >> Okay. >> Not that I know somebody very personal that's guilty of that. >> But it's $10 because I mean like my kids don't eat very much so I like only put a little bit in in case they do. >> Yeah. And and maybe you know maybe five maybe maybe it's 750 where it's two meals but just something I guess you get notified. Big deal. I don't have to act on it if it's still >> positive. You could you could technically do two different messages. Have the one for the negative and then you could have another one that says >> you're getting your child getting low, you know, which that's nice cuz I

032Yeah, I get that negative email. >> No, that's not my heart. I feel terrible. >> Thankfully, there's an internet application that you can just automatically pay. That is nice now. >> Yeah. But then you get busy and you forget and then you get the same message the next day that you're still negative. I mean >> where if I was getting it at 10:00 then maybe it'd be I mean person >> but it gives me a couple days. >> I I'll work with Nikita. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Purchase Josh. Obviously additional I'm going to ignore the $10 plus and then wait for $10 negative. I'm >> going to go out on a limb and say there's nobody in this room that has not had a negative feel so much better. >> It happens, you know.

033I think we go on. All right. Management. Are we doing Are you doing more of them for the What's that for the >> the posting? Because so we went over the school meal account. Is there any other information regarding the >> um 763? >> No, that's just >> all associated with it. Okay. >> This the 763s are like the formal district policy and then that other one is us kind of paraphrasing it into something a little bit. >> So no other changes. >> No. Okay. Just be posting. >> Okay. If there are No other comments. We will move into the Three Lake School District library plan report. >> Okay. I just have a few notes to share from um Beth Martin, the LMS that we contracted with uh this past year. I want to say

034she did a fantastic job getting us to where we needed to be with um submitting the library plan with DPI. um she did some collection and goal development and just wanted to review with you that um in January of 2025, the library pair of professionals um began the developed uh current collection to continue to buy and support materials that meet within our needs of the district. They're looking to get this completed by December 2027. they managed to complete a full inventory of the the materials at the three library media centers. Um she was unable to determine when the last full report was done, but she did believe it was probably at least 10 years ago. At this point, the items are all listed in the catalog that we have on the shelves and the books

035and materials that have been last lost have been deleted from the catalog if they couldn't be found. In April, um, a representative came to the district from Bound to Stay Bound Book Company, uh, presented to our staff. Uh, we also worked with Pilot Destiny, um, to work a a collect an analysis of the collection. Uh, they determined that it would be helpful to do some purchasing of items that already come, bound, and processed because the manpower to do it did not equate to being very effective. So there was a move with some materials in that direction. The library staff were given specific purchasing suggestions for periodicals and um what they can refer to in the future. And she provided for me some material selection policy that she had gathered and is giving to us which

036is perfect for our timing with our other policy reviews that will be coming up. It nothing has been determined at this point. I wanted to also mention that she worked closely with Caleb through the business office um to try to see how those funds would be best be send spent with the common school funds and then that she and um um Megan who has uh left but Megan the peril that was here last year they attended the conference last March and Kesha Hogar and Megan had actually they both attended as well and um they shared their information. They felt it was very good for them. Um however, a lot of it as they shared with me was a little bit over their head. That's why we needed to have a library media specialist. Now, Beth

037is done with us. We have hired Paula Hayes, as you realize. She is part-time, but she is full of energy and already getting to it. Um, she has been working with staff, working with Caleb and Steve, ordering resources for especially at the 712 looking at the focus on research, um, writing, college prep. Uh, she really wants to work with our English teaching staff as well as our elementary staff to help them understand the different databases and what's available. So all in all, a lot was very a lot was accomplished in a relatively short period of time and there's a really great working framework that we'll continue to update and you will see Paula with you later in the year when we have an update at the next time. That's for you for tonight. Wonderful. Any

038questions? Uh if there are none, we will move into school forest camp 3 update report. I have no report as far as the legal matter goes. Um the timeline to file for appeal has come and gone. We have not received any notification that anything has proceeded at this point. Um, I look forward to updating you if anything comes your way, but that is not anticipated at this point. Um, don't have anything more on that specifically. We are getting interest already. The time is here. Staff is requesting availability of going out to the forest. It looks fantastic. We're arranging for bus rides. I'm sure we're going to have to get our portaotty out there pretty quick again and start using it for the small scale. We're looking at getting the curriculum writing really moving. There is

039a few teachers who are quite interested in getting this off the ground again and that is again under Justin um under his supervision as he is coordinating that and has been leading the communication with staff. So more to come. >> Wonderful. That's a positive happening. That absolutely is. You bet it is. >> Perfect. Okay. Next is district related positive happenings. Mr. Busco would love to hear how your new >> Yeah. Would love to share. >> We had uh we welcomed six new staff members across the district on Tuesday. Um it was a great day. We started the day with 90s country. So today the day was better than I know from the start. Um just a really good group. Uh lots of energy, asked some great questions. We had uh students from our FBA officer

040team give them a tour of our building, our district. We took a couple vans over to sugar camp on the way stop at the school for us to kind of point all that out. Did a uh tour of sugar camp because we have some staff over there. and then ended the day at cross country with a great meal and and some great hospitality there. So, yeah, it was it was a really good day. >> Wonderful. >> And thank you for supporting the efforts that new staff day. It was I'm going to ask for some feedback in a couple weeks and and check in with them, but yeah, it was a really good day. Had some new teacher mentors there as well. Um it was it was just a great day. So, >> thank you for

041putting that all together. That's really exciting. >> It's really fun. Steve or Carrie, anything to share? >> A busy funfilled day. >> It was. >> What's going on, >> Mr. Gerinski? How's the new office? >> I haven't been over there too much, but it's good. It's set up. We're We're rolling. So, >> get over there more the rest of the week. >> Currently, his office here is the the tech closet. >> Don't go in there. >> He has been hopping. Today was was a busy day. I think it is the first time we ever had our first day with staff fall on a board meeting day that I can recall and maybe should have recognized that, but it wouldn't have changed anything anyways. It just made for hopping from one thing to the next. I

042felt like it was a really good day. Um, a lot of activity, a lot of training happening. Building meetings were actually able to happen today, which is really nice when the first day in the schedule allows for that. had a nice um breakfast this morning. Thanks to Nikki and Shannon for getting everything set up and ready to go for us and just a really good positive vibe. I think people are feeling good about being back the next two weeks. We have an awful lot going on, but feel really good about what we're doing with our training and what we've already laid for the groundwork and plan to continue developing as we go through the year. Well, I I super enjoyed the Facebook welcome message from you, Mr. and I read the sugar camp email that

043you sent out in entirety even though I don't have any children there. And I love I was like I couldn't I was riveted. I was like I was like things I'm like this was I'm like that was fantastic. I thought that was a great thing. So I thought that was a very positive thing. I wrote that down so I wouldn't forget to say cuz I was I was very proud of both of you. [Laughter] >> That's my heart to you. >> Yeah. He Mark had one go also. It just went out different. He I think you had it sent. So all staff didn't get it. That's why you didn't see his but he had one. So >> Oh, see I thought it I thought I thought it was still on the sugar camp newsletter. I

I mean, word by word. I mean, I was like just like that. It's great. >> So, good job. Okay, if there is not anything else, um, next we have WB correspondence and updates. Okay, the main thing I have is I just put out the final resolutions on the table should any of you want to review them. These are the resolutions that we reviewed at length

045before they were voted on and now the finalized copy has come to be. Um, in addition to that, I believe you have something. >> Yes. Just so everyone is aware, um, I attended the beginning the meeting of CISA 9 for the 42nd annual convention. Um, just so you are aware if anyone has interest. Um, Three Lakes has historically had a seat um on the season 9 um board of control. Um, we do not currently have um a seat on that board. However, where is my paper? There it is. Um, in 2026 at the meeting, which occurs typically the first Monday in August, um there'll be a medium school opening um for that board of control. I just wanted to put that out um to the rest of the board. Um I did not seek election

046um on that board this year. There was one incumbent for medium school districts um and then there was another individual who was hyperinterested in the position um out of Mosani. So those are the two that took it for um this year. Um but if anyone has interest um and I think Terry um in our board um documentation there is an opening for election for the WB uh board of directors as well. um that election those election papers if anyone is interested are due to be submitted um by September 6th of 2025. Um so that position um would start in 2026 um at the conference. Very good. Yes. And I do have the application here if anybody is interested in filling that out. Um if that is the case, we should get that done very quickly.

047It's coming up quickly. Um in addition, the dinner that will take place for region 2 is scheduled for October 16th at the Norwood Pines in Manqua. Um that's a regular event that is held about this time every year. Um we would like to find out when you know if you're attending so we can get our reservations made. There are other um scheduled meetings including one that would be virtual should you not be able to attend and want to and we do have that information that we can actually scan it and send it to you as well but that has just recently come out. Aside from that I have two notifications um that probably our board president also received. The first one is to Josh Cra. Josh, congratulations. You have achieved level three in the Wisconsin
